Williams Martini Racing: Near real time race data now possible at virtually any distance

BT digital transformation powers racing potential on the track

The technology behind the performance

Today’s Formula One regulations restrict the number of technical personnel racing teams can have working at the track. To stay competitive, they have to have additional experts like analysts and aerodynamicists working as part of the team back at their HQs, often thousands of miles away.

A high-speed BT network provides Williams Martini Racing with digital connections from every Formula One circuit across the planet to the technicians at its base in Grove, Oxfordshire. Now, with accelerated worldwide data transfer, the entire team sees the possibilities of a time-critical competitive advantage.

Every piece of data generated at the track is now sent back to the factory in near real time. That really helps us improve the cars’ performance.”- Graeme Hackland, IT Director, Williams Martini Racing
